Our trip to Plant City Bonsai.....

Me and the kid headed up to Smithgall Woods to do some trout fishing and since Plant City was on the way we stopped by for a visit....I would have bought enough stuff to have ticked the wife off except I knew I couldn't leave it in the car for 5 hours while we fished....They had some small japanese trident maples for as low as $12....Trunks on these were 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch....Even larger ones with 1 to 1 1/2 were $30-$40. They have plenty of finished trees....Great folks up there....I told them upfront I was only looking because we were going fishing and couldn't leave anything in the car....They still spent over an hour answering any questions and telling us all about their Bonsai.....I will be back soon and I think I even got the kid interested now.

Below are some pics I took today.

Worlds longest yard sale finds....

What a day....Me and Jennifer got up at 3:30 am....Drove up to Crossville Tn and dropped onto Hwy 127 right at 8:00 am......By 10:30 we had only made it about 3 miles south.....Ended up around Pikeville at 5:00 and called it a day.

Coolest thing I saw all day long was a rat rod wagon.....
I did find some bonsai pots and some plastic drains for the bottom....I didn't even spend $10 all day long....Got a nice stand as well...It's built like a tank and it came from Amish country...?




I was really looking for some industrial plastic shelves to put my Bonsai on.....I didn't find any at the yard so I called up my Dad to see if he knew anywhere to find some....Guess what he knew just where to look.....His backyard....Yep he is a packrat just like me....He say they were in a dumpster behind Lowes....Now I just have to figure out where and how to put them up.
